It’s a Snap! Podcast

On this day in 1888, George Eastman registered the trademark Kodak. Click HERE to listen to the podcast of It’s a Snap! on “Just One More Book!”

JOMB

Just One More Book! is a thrice-weekly internet radio program which promotes and celebrates literacy and great children’s books.  Each weekday morning, we take a few minutes out of our morning coffee ritual to discuss one of our many favourite children’s books. We also feature weekly interviews with authors, illustrators and experts and enthusiasts in the areas of children’s literature and literacy as well as listener-submitted book reviews.

After 3+ years and more than 600 episodes of free and fervent praise for publishing products and personalities, our completely sponsorship-free Just One More Book! online radio program and related site has built up a strong and faithful following of librarians, teachers, literacy advocates, publishers and parents.

Busy parents and educators can now discover great read-aloud children’s books while they are busy doing the many tasks that would otherwise rob them of the opportunity to research great children’s books in more traditional ways.

Thank you to Andrea and Mark for their review of It’s a Snap! and for all their hard work in maintaining “Just One More Book!” Click here to listen to previous podcasts of Tundra’s books. You can even follow them on twitter for updates.
